    A USCG (United States Coast Guard) rigid inflatable boat with armed personnel in tactical gear approaches a vessel that is fully engulfed in flames on open water. The personnel appear to be conducting a rescue operation, as at least one civilian individual is visible being assisted at the bow of the USCG craft. Black smoke billows heavily from the burning vessel, which appears to be capsizing or sinking.

    A suspected smuggler, who jumped from his burning vessel, is pulled aboard an interceptor boat from the Cyclone-class patrol coastal USS Zephyr (PC 8) by members of the U.S. Coast Guard and Navy in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean on April 7, 2018. The suspected smuggling vessel went ablaze as Coast Guard and Navy personnel approached to intercept it. All four suspected smugglers who abandoned the burning boat were rescued, the fire was extinguished and approximately 1,080 pounds of cocaine was removed from the hull before it was sunk as a hazard to navigation.

    An aerial photograph shows a large white vessel on open blue water with an active fire burning at its stern/aft section. Thick black and gray smoke billows upward and drifts to the right, with visible orange and red flames at the point of origin. The vessel appears to be stationary and shows no visible rescue or firefighting response in the frame.
    An aerial photograph shows a military patrol vessel numbered '8' alongside what appears to be a semi-submersible or low-profile vessel that is on fire and covered in fire-suppression foam. Crew members aboard the military vessel are actively directing fire hoses at the burning target vessel. The scene depicts an active maritime interdiction or firefighting operation on open blue water.

    A rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with orange hull markings and an American flag approaches a capsized or heavily damaged vessel in open ocean waters. Personnel aboard the RIB, some in tactical/military gear, appear to be conducting a maritime interdiction or rescue operation. A hose or line connects the two vessels, suggesting active engagement with the distressed craft.
